I'm am so impressed with all the simple solutions you have to what to me could be a complicated problem.

[DrJanTaplin]

This is a fantastic idea. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you! My son has asked me to come stay with their youngest son while mom & dad are out of town. I somehow dislocated my knee about a month ago and was thinking I would have to cancel because their house is nothing but stairs. However my knee is improving and with this fabulous idea I think I’m good. Now I get to spend some time with my wonderful grandson! 😊

I'm a COTA and never saw this. Awesome!

[nancyfindlay]

This is genius. I’ve been an OT for 40 years and I never thought of this

algorithm is getting better - i broke my ankle two weeks ago. Thank you!!

Hey! You have helped me a ton with what I’ve learned from you, so u can take them to my health team and assess from there. Do you have any cool tips, gadgets or assistance aids that may help a quad amputee without prosthetics? My best friend is always looking for new ways to make his life accessible!

Thank you for sharing! ❤

I have a shower chair, but I use it for the shower, and I go upstairs on my knees. I'm 6 months post-op and just started PT.

It beats going up and down on your butt. I wish I had this as a kid when I was on crutches.

[DeniseMcCoy-dx]

Yup...till you show this idea to someone with very little mobility, and they fall down the stairs (now with an object going down with them)🙄🤦

[jodirauth]

Im a COTA and I have never seen this .

[carliemorgan]

Be careful if the stairs are not straight

[shannonyoshioka]

I sure wish I had seen this after my meniscus tear repair!

[lyndalea]

Will this work on non-carpeted stairs? Love this!

[stay_curious]

I appreciate the idea, but this one seems dangerous

[cathyperito]

That's a great idea, l might use that

[MG-vmgj]

Bravo et merci
Tres utile comme information, très bonne idée
😊

[smedleyx]

I knew I that lightweight thing was more useful than it looked

[meripederson]

Cool next fire alarm I can leave the apartment!

[Claire-grh]

Or use the railing if you can jump up stairs 👍
